Just a quick note - Daylight Savings time snuck up on me.  I didn't realize that it was actually flipping this weekend.

When TIF starts (in a few weeks), it will be run at 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC.

 

The EU, NOR and GBR shift on 28 March one hour forward.  

I wish they would just eliminate it honestly.

 

Possibly somewhere in the near future we have a DST per country not for the entire Union. Not sure what happens in the NLD, most likely we get rid of the DST.

For the life of me, I just don't understand why we don't make the clocks register 12:00 Noon when the sun is at it's apex on the summer solstice and leave it at that. It's what our biological clocks are wired to through millions of years of evolution.

In the past=youth, it was fun having that extra hour of light in the summer evenings. With the climate change, new mosquitos have arrived, and these start stinging already around 3 PM. The new ones make no sound and the itching is a lot more. No fun being outdoors (unprotected) nowadays in the summer.

Agreed,  as a kid I was able to get to more  mischief in the longer light hours at night.  Now I just wish they'd stop the nonsense as I would rather have it lighter in the am to have a better chance to spot deer, elk and moose on my drive to work !
